The Fighting Yank – 6-19-21

It was a beautiful day to see many PAX and their 2.0’s for F3 Dads at the Fighting Yank.  The Boot Camp and Bunker workouts had low numbers due to the PAX bringing their kids for a great workout together.  Once the dads separated, the warm up went like this…..

 

Side Staddle Hops IC x ……?  We did at least 30 but we ended them with a resounding verse of Happy Birthday to none other than YHC.  Yes, I’ve passed through the decade of RESPECT and entered the decade of Honor.  After displaying my newest F3 shirt with HONOR 60+ on the back we continued pushing on with…..

Hill Billy Walkers IC x 20

Chinooks IC x 10 one way and x 10 the other.

One we broke off from the Bunker PAX we gave them our usual Monkey Humper salute at the fence.

Mosey over to the steps in the park for Calf Raises.  I went easy on the PAX so we only did 100 x IC.  I was planning to get back there at the end of the workout but ran out of time.

Mosey to the RR tracks for 5 Burpees.

Mosey to the top of the hill on Main St. for Goofballs and Monkey Humpers.

Mosey to Park St stopping at each telephone pole along the way to do 5 merkins, derkins, werkins or CDD’s.

Mosey to the Belmont PD for circle of ABS.  We stopped at each corner for 50 squats.

Mosey to Main St. for Triple Nickle doing Reverse LBC, Mosey and Peter Parkers.

Mosey back to the Fighting Yank to salute the Bunker Pax with more Monkey Humpers.

5 more Burpees.

Thanks for starting my 60th birthday off right men!

Dirt

Laughs and Taffy

7 HIMs plus YHC came out on a muggy morning to put in some miles at Prison Break. I got to sub for my brother who is running hills and leading his youth group at Crowder’s Ridge.

One thing about F3 for which I am thankful is that I know I’ll get a few laughs at whatever AO I post-and for the fact that SA broke his fall-and not his teeth. Had that have happened, he wouldn’t have been able to eat that bag of taffy that he probably had polished off by the time he got to work. Nice one!

Announcements:

Turtleman

Big Pappy and family

SA and family

Roundup and Youth at camp

Word:

You adulterous people![a] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

“Do not draw the wrong conclusion about God’s jealousy and shrink back from Him because He will not rest content until He possesses all of you. This is the God of grace who is jealous, the One who has given His Son for you. No matter how deep your sin may be, His grace is deeper still.” Sinclair Ferguson

Keep pushing!

Running Laps at the Ricky Bobby

Beautiful day at the Ricky Bobby this morning.

Not because it was Oompa Loompa’s birthday.  It was because we were graced with a siting of the rarest of rare.

It wasn’t Sasquach, it wasn’t the tooth fairy, and it dang sure wasn’t Allen Tate. It wasn’t Gaston County’s handsomest cardiologist either although he was present.

It was Gaston County’s favorite geriontologist, Quiche, with a quick hello after a 4 mile EC with Sargento. I guess he made a house call to check on me and Tesla.

Time to start.

No FNG so brief disclaimer.  I am an idiot. Don’t get hurt. I can hear everybody silently repeating it in their head.

Warmup consisted of: Burpees. Patented Oompa Loompa Side Straddle Hops in cadence to start. Toy soldiers. Mosey to track.

The Thing: It’s Oompa’s 61 birthday, and being old, I have to keep things simple, so I don’t forget stuff. Standard Oompa You vs You workout. 60 plus 1 equals 61 for the Midoriyama guys.

Arm work 60 single count reps, or in cadence,  your choice of any arm exercise you want. Merkins, derkins, dips, Def Leppard Pushups, raise the roofs, hipslappers, shoulder taps, werkins, staggers, diamonds,  etc.

Run a lap around the track.

Abs work 60 single count reps, or in cadence, your choice of any ab exercise you want. Vee ups, lbc, lbfc, flutters, box cutters, scissors, Rosalitas, big boys, WW1, windshield wipers, penguins, etc.

Run another lap.

Alternate Arms and Abs after each lap until time expires.

Sargento whipped up a 60s Playlist after the second or third lap for our listening pleasure.

Ball Joint got 12 laps, I think everybody else got 11 or 10. Thanks to Whoopie and Sargento for the pushing the Q this morning. We’ll tie you next time Ball Joint.

Lots of poor form, laughs, and sweat.

Back to flag.  22 for vets, pledge. YHC said a few words about not knowing any of you guys 5 years ago. I now have a group of brothers that will do anything for each other. I didn’t realize I needed this circle of guys in my life.

Sargento passed the site Q to Nutria.

YHC closed us out. Thanks to Sargento for letting me Q.
